Description Richard Scott 2007-06-16 23:12:13 UTC

I've been trying to install pecl-expect and I have an error where the install is unable to find the expect library.

I've been able to fix this by creating the following:

# cd /usr/lib
# ln -s libexpect5.43.so libexpect.so

Once this is created it is possible to do the following:

pear install http://pecl.php.net/get/expect

Is it possible to get the ebuild to create this symlink for us?

Thanks.

Richard.
